The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 533

Chapter 533: Chapter 529: Unable to Lash Out

Xu Wenwan was furious, but she couldn’t lash out. After all, she was the one who had spilled it.

Gu Jiaojiao watched Xu Wenwan in silence, her eyes fixed on the towel.

She suspected Xu Wenwan wanted the liquid on it.

So, Gu Jiaojiao simply tossed the towel into the basin, washed it, then picked up the basin and splashed the water outside.

Xu Wenwan was devastated.

’It’s gone. My water is gone.’

Gu Jiaojiao came back inside and set down the basin. "It’s all right, don’t worry about it. I’ll just pour another glass of water in a bit."

Xu Wenwan’s eyes lit up. She immediately asked her system, "Little Seven, are there any more pills?"

The system sounded like it was about to cry. "I only had five in total! You’ve used three, so there are only two left. I think you should just come back another day!"

Leng Yuan was already gone. Even if Gu Jiaojiao drank the drugged water now, it would be useless.

Xu Wenwan nodded.

She stood up, her expression perfectly calm.

"It’s getting late. I should be going."

With that, she headed for the door.

Gu Jiaojiao immediately saw her out.

The moment Xu Wenwan was outside, Gu Jiaojiao locked the door and went back in.

Xu Wenwan completely lost it.

"AHHHH! I’m such an idiot! I couldn’t even hold a glass of water steady! This is infuriating!"

The system covered its little ears.

Xu Wenwan was so angry she started to cry.

Nothing good ever happened when she saw Gu Jiaojiao. She was so, so angry.

In the courtyard, Gu Jiaojiao listened to Xu Wenwan’s meltdown, a smile playing on her lips.

’Serves her right for always plotting against people.’

But the restrictions of this era were too great. You needed a letter of introduction to go anywhere. Where could she possibly go?

As for fighting him, Gu Jiaojiao knew her own limits. With her small frame, she was no match for Leng Yuan.

In the end, she came to the miserable realization that even if Leng Yuan discovered her secret, she had nowhere to run.

As Gu Jiaojiao’s mind raced, a warm, large hand rested on her head. The man’s voice was deep, laced with a helpless sigh.

"You silly girl," he said. "If you don’t want to talk about it, you don’t have to. No matter what secrets you have, I will never hurt you."

Having lived together for so long, Leng Yuan had noticed certain things for a while now. It was just that Gu Jiaojiao never brought it up, so he never asked.

He had only brought it up tentatively today because the conversation had led them there.

He hadn’t expected Gu Jiaojiao to have such a strong reaction.

For a moment, the panic in her eyes stung him.

Gu Jiaojiao pressed her lips together.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell him. It was that the whole thing was so fantastical, she didn’t even know where to begin.
